I know I've made huge gains in my confidence, and knowing more about my racing and myself as a person. That has made me a better athlete

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.

Negotiation builds a team as well as a set of requirements.

It's important to talk about it. You raise awareness. But you can also prevent it (child abuse) by not letting it be a secret.

There is no time. There is no space. There is no condition. There is only awareness, awareness of these ideas.

Who is the most sensible person? The one who finds what is to their own advantage in all that happens to them.

A woman my age is not supposed to be attractive or sexually appealing. I just get kinda tired of that.

We're far worse than we ever imagined, and far more loved than we could ever dream.
